Campanula Waterfall Blue
Notify MeCampanula Waterfall Blue is a charming, low-growing perennial known for its soft blue, bell-shaped flowers that appear in abundance from late spring to early autumn. With a naturally cascading habit, it is perfect for softening the edges of garden beds, flowing over retaining walls, or spilling from pots and hanging baskets. The trailing stems and profuse flowering create a graceful, flowing effect that adds a relaxed beauty to the garden.
Ideal for cottage, coastal, and informal garden styles, Campanula Waterfall Blue thrives in sunny to lightly shaded areas with well-draining soil. It enjoys consistent moisture but can tolerate occasional dry periods once established. Plant with about 30 cm spacing to allow room for its spreading nature. At maturity, it forms a soft mat around 15 cm tall and up to 60 cm wide, offering a long season of colour and gentle texture.
Trimming: Lightly trim back trailing stems after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth. A more substantial cutback in late autumn or early spring will refresh the plant and promote denser coverage.
Deadheading: Regularly deadhead spent flowers during the flowering season to prolong flowering and maintain a neat appearance.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring. For prolonged flowering, a liquid fertiliser can be applied monthly during the growing season.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and in extended dry periods. Once established, Campanula Waterfall Blue is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture for optimal flowering.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids and slugs, particularly in humid conditions. Aphids can be controlled with insecticidal soap, while slugs are best managed with organic slug pellets or manual removal.
Disease Management: Be alert for powdery mildew, especially in crowded or overly shaded conditions. Look for white, powdery patches on leaves. Improve air circulation around the plant and treat affected areas with a suitable fungicide if necessary.
